I wonder if Hollywood is scared of horny because of Me Too. But yes, at some point the horny was absorbed by TV, like Showtime, HBO, Cinemax had all sorts of shows. I think it varies on streaming.

There's a whole thing involving French movies about very young girls and their sexuality and even though it's presented as a romantic open minded thing (in contrast with north america's puritan values) it's directly tied with a bunch of unbelievably creepy old men who should be in jail and an industry that makes excuses for them.

I really appreciate that they don't really sexualize Furiosa or Joe's brides; like there's the first time Max sees them washing off and drinking water after the sandstorm and you think just for a second that it's going to be like a 80s metal video or carwash scene or something, then you realize that it's the water that Max is so thirsty for and not the women.

Schwarzwald posted:

Fury Road is in agreement with the article, being a film but a story about the commoditization of desexualized bodies, but in that respect its almost anti-horny.

Immortan Joe wants his wives for their capacity to provide him sons. The scene when Max looks past the bathing wives to thirst at the water is pretty much the line "they don’t dream of women, but of cheeseburgers and fries" from the article. Capable's relationship with Nux is motherly. The struggle to achieving reproductive freedom is not at all libidinal but lies in controlling resources: the Citadel's water, Immortan's infrastructure, and the bodies of those that live and work there (as represented by the flower seeds). And when Furiosa and Max swap fluids, they do not gently caress but become blood brothers.

Shortly after the movie came out there was a nice blogpost somewhere about the storyboarding of this scene, how it had changed from having boobs and butts and the axes of the shot to the water being the focus.

The International Cut of Leon is my preferred version to watch. If you like The Professional, then definitely check it out. I ended up getting it in a used Luc Besson box set from Disc Replay. There is some ickyness, but it's in the direction of Matilda towards Leon, and he does not reciprocate. I don't want to spoil anymore, but one of the added scenes provides a nice callback for the final scene featuring Leon.

In a way that's ickier, because she's a teenage girl asking for it, she has the agency here!

It's probably hard to market a horny PG-13 action blockbuster as kid-friendly. If parents think there might be *gasp* SEX in a Marvel movie, they might not take their kids or buy their merch.

Unless you get an old DVD the theatrical cut on Blu-ray is an edited version with "modern" color grading, a CG morph effect, and worst of all it replaces the superior 1970s WB logo at the beginning (!)

No, I don't think you're right. There is sex but it is sexless. There is nothing erotic about it. It's two immaculate sculpted bodies engaging in a very rehearsed choreographed performance.

It reminds me of the sex scene in Don't Look Now, which is awkward and unconvincing but is supposed to be two people who used to be in love and are so broken by their daughter's death who are trying to reconnect. I feel like the Quantum of Solace sex scene (which if I'm remembering correctly is just Bond sheepishly inviting the woman into his room and not them actually loving at all) is a little bit like that, he's still reeling from the emotional and physical trauma from Casino Royale and trying to remember what it was like to allow himself to have fun and connect with somebody.

Bond never actually has sex scenes, it's always Bond making out with someone or undoing their dress or whatever and then it cuts to the scene post-sex. They're always PG-13 so there's never any scenes where Bond is actually in the act of having sex with someone.

We can watch Eva Green graphically drown right in front of Bond's eyes but sex is a no go.

Pretty sure the Brosnan movies have at least a few "in bed with the sheets inexplicably covering them" scenes. "I thought Christmas only came once a year" etc. Besides, I don't think the QOS one even had them kissing, or her accepting his advances or anything. Just him clearly asking this girl to come to his room for reasons and her smirking.

That's true, although it's still a cherrypicked moment where Bond isn't actually in the act of having sex, it's like immediately afterwards and they're still in bed with each other but the sex is basically over(or about to start up again).

With Bond I kinda get it though because it's always been PG-13 and you can't really show thrusting or anything like that with PG-13. At least I don't think you can.


drat well that proved me wrong, this is definitely the exception to the rule though.

That's nothing more than the Hedgehog/Prower phenomenon of ostensibly adult characters engaged in prolonged and intense bouts of presexual intimacy.

FN and Poe - despite being twenty- and thirty-somethings, respectively - are several steps behind Matthew Broderick's teen hacker in Wargames, who tentatively explores how it feels to take his shirt off in front of a girl.

For fans, the actual erotic appeal comes from the fact that Sonic The Hedgehog does not gently caress. Ever. He achieves full satisfaction just by staring at you with his massive hypersensitive eyes, and passionately filling his rounded belly with chilidogs. Poe and FN, likewise, will never move beyond hugging and trying on eachothers' clothes. They have no need to.

If we're talking Brosnan and horny I don't think anything prepared me for The Thomas Crowne Affair and the sheer length of the scene with Rene Russo.

I think it's a good use of horny though since it's so over the top like the rest of the movie and it shows actual chemistry. I think. Been many years since I've seen it.

But yeah you'd be hard pressed to have that scene in a modern high budget movie.

I've seen this and it's incredibly sleazy but not in the fun John Waters kind of way. The movie is just kind of gross and not very good. Be prepared to have the theme song stuck in your head all of you who watch this.

You're right but it was interesting to see how Romero justified his stance with Night of the Living Dead. It's completely plausible that he and his crew weren't going out of their way to make some kind of racial allegory, they were all just a bunch of hippies (for example, the movie could as easily have taken place in the late 60's with the slang and so on). While that's partly due to the fact that it takes place in semirural Pennsylvania, already 10-15 years behind culturally, but also the overall attitude of the film - cops are fascist, abusive shitheads, rednecks hate cops except when they enforce the racial and sexual pecking order, shoplifting is ethical - plenty of stuff that's just part and parcel with that worldview.

I'm 34. So that's like peak age for people who watched that show and played that game.

edit: Incidentally if you think 40 is too old for the creep factor of guys who want to gently caress cartoon characters to still be there I wouldn't recommend ever going into a comic book store.
